Col Fred Grant, who led the Republican
ticket to defeat at the late election in New
York, is reported to have said lately: II am
fully aware of the fact that all the reputa-
ton possess is due solely to my fathers
name, but am at loss TO understand that
any degree of unpopularity should touch me
on that account or any other" Col Grant
appears to labor under the impression that
he is unpopular The truth / that he Is
neither popular nor unpopular The people
are wholly indifferent with regard to him.

Three Schemes.

In time probably there will be shorter
route between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans for ships than that which they now
follow NJ. de LeSseps says that his canal
across the isthmus will be opened to COM
merce in 1890, but nobody seems to believe
it will except its protector. 1t is much more
likely to be abandoned for want of money
to continue it than it is to be opened at that
date
The final survey of the Nicaragua route
is now being made. 1t will be completed
by next spring, and the Nicaragua Canal
Construction Company will then, doubtless,
ask the public to take its stock and bonds.
The public may grant the request if it can
make it clear that its securities are a safe
and profitable investment.
1t was generally believed that Capt Eads'
Tehuantepec ship railway scheme would be
abandoned after his death. This belief, it
seems, was not well founded. Capt. E. l..
Corthen, who was Capt. Eads' chief en-
glneer, appears to be the moving spirit in
the enterprise now. It's President is ex-
Senator Window, and its manager is Capt.
Andrews, of Pittsburg, who built the jetties
under Capt. Eads' direction.
1t is not proposed to ask Congress for any
aid. That probably is a wise determine
ton. Congress would hardly give the ell
terprise any financial aid, if it were asked
If Capt. Eads, who possessed remarkable
skill in handling Senators and Representa-
tives, was unable to influence them to
open the public purse in behalf of the Te-
huantepec undertaking, it is useless for his
successors to try to get them them to do So
A company to build the ship railway is to
be organized at once under the laws of the
State of New York, and it is understood
that Mr.. Window and Capt. Andrews will
soon go to Europe to place their bonds with
English investors If they fail to have
their expectations realized they ought not
to feel greatly disappointed. The ship rail
way scheme is only an experiment at best.
and it is by no means certain that it will be
a successful one. The fact that the French
people have put millions of dollars into the
Panama canal, no part of which from pres
ent indications, will they see again, will
cause Englishmen to take tighter grip on
their cash when they are asked to contrib
ute towards building the ship railway.

There are about $50 Washoe Indians at

will work. They never used to work, but
when the Chinese were driven out of Truckee
it occurred to these Americans that they
might take the Mongolians' place, and they
did so. The bucks chop wood and do work
of that sort, and the squaws wash end iron.

Not the Wav He Expected

Adispatch from Washington to the New
York Herald says: A droll story, but one
highly illustrative of Secretary Whitney S
sagacity and foresight, is told in naval cir
cles here.
About year ago Albert w. Stahl, who
holds the rank of assistant engineer in the
navy, was detached from active service and
placed on duty at the Depew University, at
Greencastle. Ind. In June last Mr. Stahl
was transferred to the new cruiser Chicago,
then lying at the Brooklyn Navy Yard
The announcement of his departures from
the university was received with genuine
regret by the professors and scholars. Mr.
Stahls duties at the college consisted in a
general way, in teaching the pupils the
science of naval construction and warfare
He was especially happy in the performance
of these duties, and this fact, together with
a strong and genial personality, made it
desirable that the order detaching him
should be revoked if possible. The gentle
man selected to bring about this result
was Civil Service Commissioner Edgerton,
himself an Indianian and trustee of the
college.
Those who heard Judge Edgerton's argu-
ment before the Secretary say that in point
of eloquence it equalled the best effort of
Col. Ingersoll or ex-senator Roscoe Conk-
ling. John Alden, pleading the cause of
Miles Standish with the pretty Puritan
maid, Priscilla, could not have been more
earnest in his suit than Judge Edgerton in
recounting the brilliant qualities of the
young naval engineer The Judge dwelt
with especial emphasis upon Mr. Stahl's
high naval character, his adaptability as an
instructor, his delightful manners and his
cultivated mind During the delivery of
the Judges remarks the Secretary sat with
an amused smile upon his face. At the con-
clusion the Commissioner was informed that
the matter should receive the Secretary's
immediate consideration.
A few days later Mr.. Stahl dropped in at
Judge Edgerton's office He had
been summoded to Washington, he
said. He hoped he hadnot fallen
into disgrace, but it really looked
little odd. The Judge, without telling Mr..
Stahl what he had done, suggested that he
report to the Secretary at once. Mr.. Stahl
did so. That evening he called upon
the Judge again. His face was beaming
with smiles.
All said the Judge, complacently, 81
see it's all right l knew it would be-"
We'll, yes, Judge" returned Mr. Stahl,
cit is all right but not in the way you ex-
pected You see you made SO good an argu-
ment in my favor that the Secretary con-
cuded was too useful man to be buried at
the Depew University, and so he has de
cided to send me abroad to the School of
Naval Architecture at Paris, to take the
place of two young American officers who
have just finished four years course at
that place"

1t was the best and could use no other; now
1t is very bad"
The other wine was brought, but must
say preferred the first offered
Presently Mr.. Herries pleaded an engage
ment and departed. I then questioned
Charlie as to what it all meant
You must know" he answered, chat
Walter was not long since very wealthy
young man. He was a swell in the world
of fashion, and was known as an authority
on dress, jewelry and kindred topics, and
was an excellent judge of all kinds of liquors
He soon ran through his fortune, and was
for time way down. 1t was not long be-
fore he took on somewhat of his old style
He has now every article of adornment you
can imagine, and dresses in the most expen-
slve manner, has every novelty as soon as it
comes out, and lives life of ease He spends
his time at the clubs and places of amuse-
ment during the winter time, and in sum
mer you will see him at the fashionable re-
sorts.
Where does he get the fnndsN' asked
They are the result of Just such doings as
we saw few moments ago." Charlie an
swered. HE advertises that new brand of
champagne which he calls for in that way.
The company which employs him pays all the
expenses and good salary besides. In ad-
diuion to this, he receives a considerable
sum from a prominent tailor, in return for
which all he does is to wear his make of
clothes and praise his work. Now and then
he will take an odd job, such as pushing a
special brand of cigarettes or tobacco. By
these means he reaps quite large income,
and at the same time preserves his reputa-
ton for fashion. He has most congenial
existence, and you will find him a very pleas
ant companion if you could see more of
him. His business, of course, requires him
to cultivate the polite world for upon his
popularity there depends the success of his
advertising.
